openat() is still a young glibc facility, better to not use it in a

Avi Kivity reported 'perf annotate' failures with modules, the
requested function was not annotated.
If there are no modules currently loaded, or the last module
scanned is not loaded, dso__load_modules() steps on the value from
dso__load_vmlinux(), so we happily load the kallsyms symbols on top
of what we've already loaded.
Fix that such that the total count of symbols loaded is returned.
Should module symbol load fail after parsing of vmlinux, is's a
hard failure, so do not silently fall-back to kallsyms.

This fixes two places in the powerpc perf_event (perf_counter) code
where 'list_entry' needs to be changed to 'group_entry', but were
missed in commit 65abc865 ("perf_counter: Rename list_entry ->
group_entry, counter_list -> group_list").
This also changes 'event' back to 'counter' in a couple of
contexts:
* Field and function names that deal with the limited-function
counters: it's really the hardware counters whose function is
limited, not the events that they count. Hence:
MAX_LIMITED_HWEVENTS -> MAX_LIMITED_HWCOUNTERS
limited_event -> limited_counter
freeze/thaw_limited_events -> freeze/thaw_limited_counters
* The machine-specific PMU description struct (struct power_pmu): this
renames 'n_event' back to 'n_counter' since it really describes how
many hardware counters the machine has. (Renaming this back avoids
a compile error in each of the machine-specific PMU back-ends where
they initialize their power_pmu struct.)

NFS may free the server structure without ever having used the
bdi, so we either need to flag the bdi as being uninitialized or
initialize it up front. This does the latter.
This fixes a crash with mounting more than one NFS file system,

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

This is in preparation of the big rename, but also makes sense
in a standalone way: 'list_entry' is a bad name as we already
have a list_entry() in list.h.
Also, the 'counter list' is too vague, it doesnt tell us the
purpose of that list.
Clarify these names to show that it's all about the group
hiearchy.

Commit 5622f295 ("x86, perf_counter, bts: Optimize BTS overflow
handling") removed the regs field from struct perf_sample_data and
added a regs parameter to perf_counter_overflow(). This breaks the
build on powerpc (and Sparc) as reported by Sachin Sant:
arch/powerpc/kernel/perf_counter.c: In function 'record_and_restart':
arch/powerpc/kernel/perf_counter.c:1165: error: unknown field 'regs' specified in initializer
This adjusts arch/powerpc/kernel/perf_counter.c to correspond with the
new struct perf_sample_data and perf_counter_overflow().
[ v2: also fix Sparc, Markus Metzger <markus.t.metzger@intel.com> ]

VGA arb requires DRM support for non-kms drivers, to turn on/off
irqs when disabling the mem/io regions.
VGA arb requires KMS support for GPUs where we can turn off VGA
decoding. Currently we know how to do this for intel and radeon
kms drivers, which allows them to be removed from the arbiter.

Ingo points out that I screwed up when merging the 'timers-for-linus'
branch in commit a03fdb7612874834d6847107198712d18b5242c7.
A bit too much copy-and-pasting caused the end result to have an
extraneous 'return' in the middle of an expression. That was obviously
bogus. Blush.
